[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Jeonbuk Bank announced on the 2nd that it has joined the campaign to support local agricultural products for farmers struggling due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) at the Jeonju Comprehensive Stadium in Jeonju, Jeonbuk.

On the previous day, Jeonbuk Bank President Lim Yong-taek visited the drive-thru agricultural products market hosted by Jeonju City and purchased 500 boxes of eco-friendly agricultural product packages.

The 500 agricultural product packages, consisting of eight types of eco-friendly agricultural products such as eggs, onions, cherry tomatoes, and chwinamul (Aster scaber), will be delivered to marginalized neighbors in need of warm support due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
